SSHE and Party .50/1

[mxer7734]

I know this topic has been covered a billion times but I cant seem to find it on the search function. Is SSHE really applicable to Party .50/1 and up?. I know it is primarily used for the loose and passive 3/6 B & M games but im sure knowing the concepts would help a lot for the games online. Also is the limit sections from SS1 and SS2 useful for the games that I play or should I just forget about that book until I reach the higher limits. I need advice on which books to follow on which games because I know they are all used for primarily different games. Thanks.

Is this a trick question? It's applicable to all micro levels, especially if you use table selection.

its full of very good advice for party .5/1

The book is clearly written for B&M games, and in my opinion it should be rewritten, given that the majority of people buying it are online players, not las vegas casino players.

However, I've still found it to be highly useful for online play, and I do play at partypoker .5/1.00 tables. You just have to realize that some of the advice is a bit off.

The main difference between the book and online tables is that the "loose" tables the book describes are virtually nonexistant online. Another difference I've noted is that online tables even at microlimits are frequently much less passive than the B&M tables SSHE is written for. Not uncommon to be at a table where nearly every hand is raised preflop, while SSHE says it assumes you'll be seeing 15%-35% of hands being raised preflop.

Probably the worst bit of advice in the book is on page 93, "Assume the game is loose unless proven otherwise". This is based on SSHE's definition of loose, which is an average of 6-8 players seeing the flop.

Yeah, I agree totally, the tables online are almost always in the tight category, so I assume tight until proven otherwise.
